Beautiful work man!

So beautiful it literally made me cry. I can’t wait to be part of this completely this year 🤍

Happy New Year! Thanks for watching and have a great 2025. Locations in this video, shown (mostly) in the order I visited each one: México City, La Paz, LA, Panajachel/Guatemala City, Boston, Copenhagen, Lisbon, New York, Montréal

Nice little lens but with soft corners.

Until one learns to photograph their own neighborhood as a world class destination, photography will always ruin your travels. Otherwise, one is nothing more than yet another KZbin photographer chasing likes. The same can be said of wedding photographers. Always chasing the destination wedding. Leaving money on the table for the rest of us in the local market.

It’s hard-especially traveling to someplace new. Thankfully I was visiting friends with my family which mentally cued me to put the camera down and enjoy the trip.

Who in the heck tried to say Caipirinha came from Portugal? That’s wild

Don't let travel ruin your photography! You may never be back.

Hola! Se te olvidó activar el lenguaje automático 😢

Need to favorite this until I can finally plan that dream trip to NYC

Another great video discussing very valid photography points. I know for a fact that photography (kinda) took over during my trip to the US, so too with a few other destinations. I’ll be travelling to Japan in 2026 and it’ll be my wife’s first time outside of Australia… I gotta try real hard not to ruin that for her! ✌️😂

Another great video and I 1000% agree. We took a family trip to Paris and I was stressing trying to photograph everything that I wasn’t enjoying myself. The moment I decided to put the camera away I began to enjoy myself. Next time I’ll be more selective with my shots.

All the footage is so beautiful and you captured everything so beautifully and is definitely a topic to pay attention to, we’re always so focused on registering the moment and saving the memory that we just forget to live it. Can’t wait to live these memories with you 🥹

Do you find that photography 'gets in the way' when you're traveling?

Love when people make videos like this one because I live in a tiny town, but sometimes get down to Boston and other big cities, but you're right. There's still great stuff around. Nice video. :)

Would you recommend this for hiking-photography? I have a Fujifilm X-T4 camera with a 16-80mm lens, but I’m looking for a lens that is much lighter and more compact

Very much enjoyed the video man, keep it up

LOVED this video brother. One of your best in my opinion. Hope you've been well🙌🏾

Dope video 📸💯

Really enjoyed that introspective. What do you believe were the key motivating factors that got you through, particularly on what you referred to as the worst days of the experiment?

You’re so so amazing and this turned out so beautifully incredible. I’m just so happy to have the chance to follow through the process and hear everything about those 12 days first hand! You’re amazing and I’m so so proud of you!

My favorite days from this project 👀 05:17 - Day 4: Two Bridges 07:54 - Day 6: Staten Island Ferry 09:28 - Day 7: Domino Park 14:29 - Day 12: MoMA, Manhattan Bridge

I’ve had a couple and subsequently sold them..But I hanker for another. The form factor works really well in urban environments. Improvements. 1: better viewfinder 2: ibis 3: 40mg sensor

Definitely think Fuji should consider a line of f1.4 MF lenses at the same price point as the f2 AF lenses. If they were willing to take a leap for photographers with the release of the xpro4 with the upgraded battery and fixed screen issues, in addition to a small line super fast MF prime lenses… oof. *chef’s kiss*

i use it on my x-t3 for multiple years now. I'm not crazy about the focal length tbh. It' kind of a strange middle ground. And i think the "3d pop" is kind of missing and it slow und close focus is bad for a wide angle . BUT its still the lens that I use the most. For me my x-t3 is my "fun" camera that isn't supposed to feel like work. The form factor of the 27 makes it easy to carry my camera and use it more. That to me is way more valuable. This, the 16mm f 2.8 and the canon fd 50 1.4 are in my bag most of the time. (sometimes the viltrox speedbooster + smct 50 f1.4)

Great vid. Grew up with a 50mm on a film camera, but that was before iPhones. Now 24mm, 28mm & 35mm is what many grow up with and favour. It’s what you are prepared to discipline yourself to explore, and look at in a different way. Now it’s a 35mm & a 50mm which go with me everywhere.

I know x pro 3 is photo-centric camera but again is there any gimbals that are suitable for this beautiful body?

X-Pro 4 would be the perfect camera to introduce the first APS-C global shutter.

Shoulve seen it on the 90's early 2000. Locals ruined it with the unregulated architecture and most chill people realy moved away.. beautiful houses were sold and they built shitty comerce blocks instead

I need the right tool for the situation. I have a ThinkTank Airport Essentials for when I need the full load out, a Tenba Fulton 14 which is half camera storage, half roll top backpack (great for day hikes), and a Tenba BYOB camera cube to put in my Aer Go Pack (great for walking around cities). I also have a ThinkTank Retrospective which is a more classic sling/messenger style like this Bellroy. Bellroy makes good sling bags but I've never used that camera specific one. It's worth acknowledging that your camera gear is tiny which makes it easier to use smaller bags.

You may have found out after this video, but you don't have to scroll through all the modes to switch between still image and movie. When on still image, you just have to scroll one step up and you're in movie mode and down one step when you want to switch back to still image.

Although I personally didn’t like using a sling, I agree with the whole backpack instead of camera bag thing. I take one of the cubes from my McKinnon camera bag and put in a $25 Volcom backpack for everyday use. I love it and it’s very comfortable. I only use the camera bag when I’m on a paid shoot and need a ton of extra gear.

While I agree with you, I have a problem with slings hurting my shoulders after a long day of shooting. Hence looking for a smaller/useful backpack (which as you said, is pretty pretty tricky)

Awesome video! I love X-Pro series and I hope FujiFilm sees your video.

Great video. Very chill. I definitely feel similarly about camera bags. Like yeah they’re full of neat features a lot of the time but I carry other stuff too! Gotta put my documents somewhere

Thank you for the review! Are the straps comfortable since they are pretty slim? Do you have issues with the strap of the backpack shown in this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4W5d595jpuhjrMsi=ejVL7zFrOViYulgz

If it’s coming from someone living out of a suitcase/backpack I think you definitely have enough background to be talking about this and is definitely a great pov!!

Am I wrong? Let's discuss.

This was brilliant, I like how you dove into this topic. A great presentation 🤙🏼

This video is perfect timing for me, and extremely well articulated. I have recently been struggling with my inability to try and capture something unique, and each time I try to convince myself that it is likely just too damn difficult, or, it could take a long time to achieve. There’s millions of photographers around the world, who are we to think that we’ll create something unique each and every time we’re out there?! Appreciate the work you put into this.

Thanks , that’s what I am looking for for carry on

Do you have a favorite neighborhood in New York?

I hope Fuji release a new F2 WR LM version of this 16mm or 18mm lens and under 200g. Because the new XF16-50 at 240g makes this lens redundant. Maybe the 18mm Mkii with WR and LM? That would be awesome. That being said, it doesn’t have to be pancake if the IQ is improved though.

I don't have an Xpro but do have an XE2, XT1, XT2 and XT4. I would like to add an XPro to my kit but I have some of your same concerns. I also wonder about the wisdom about Fuji bumping up their new sensors to 40 MP. And we need to replace our existing lenses to take advantage of the increased resolution? People forget about the benefits of smaller sensors with bigger pixels like low light capability and more "film like rendering". Some of the makers recognize differing needs and make higher and lower resolution for the same sensor size cameras, but unlikely the Fuji will ever do that because already they can't seem to get their cameras out of production. Like you, I am looking for a smaller, not larger, kit. And I agree that it is highly likely that an XPro will have IBIS and that will most likely produce a bigger body. I think if I could find a decent deal on a used XPro 3 I would go for it, but as you know they are expensive and hard to find.

Moving from LA to Charlotte soon. Glad to see people shooting street there. 🙏🏻

Galen Rowell used mostly a 24mm lens on his film Nikons and became one of the giants in landscape photography. And he used the cheaper ones because they were light and could be carried easily even up a rock face. Good focal length. However if you are restricted in where you can be like a trail, an overlook, a bridge, or in a travel group a zoom is essential because you can't zoom with your feet all the time.

thanks beast

Nice work man, enjoyed that. My fave image was the b/w at 1:43.

In camera cropping makes sense if you have a fixed lens and compact size. So I think 40MPix is useful in the x100VI, but I do not need it in X-PRO4. I would rather change the lens. What I would like to have as X-PRO4 is the X-PRO2 (x-trans III is perfectly fine) with flip screen + bigger battery. IBIS is not needed. And what I really like in the X-PRO is the form factor, but I do not use the OVF at any time. So strangely, it can be left out. I would have a better EVF instead. And all cameras needs a seamlessly working cloud support so save and sync the files in cloud/phone automatically any time, there is wifi/mobilenet.

What’s the name of the background jazz artist? Thx.
